Hi guys,
the last released version (1.5.4) has been delivered on sept, 7th. We
are close to the end of november, that's more than tow months since we
released it. I think it's time to get 1.5.5 out, at least, to work on
such a release during the next few weeks. Hopefully, this release can be
done within a month.
There is a lot to do in order to get this release out. Bugs,
improvements, and tasks. But we also have some new features to implement.
Let's get the bug list first :

This is an overall of 70 opened issues, out of which 28 are bugs (2
blockers, 23 majors, 2 minors and a single trivial).
I suggest we start working on the release now, and get a weekly report
produced to inform everyone about the progression.
Just feel free to pick an issue, and to work on it, there are enough of
them to feed our free time ;)
Thanks !
